Document Classes ⇒ Horizontal flush of subsection dots, Berlin theme

[m.carrara3]

I'm using Berlin theme and I want the subsection's dots in outer theme to be horizontally aligned instead of vertically;
Any suggestion?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

can you please post some code that allows me to form and idea about your problem?

Hey! Here's an exemple which can make you understand it pretty well and clear

in the headline outer section I have 2 boxes one blue (where section are printed) and one light blue (where subsection are printed); now, one the blue box under the section title, if you filled code with subsection you have a circled dot for each one, right?
This dots are ordered vertically and I want them to be ordered horizontally.

Get it? I hope so; I can't provide you code 'cause I have no idea how to instruct Tex to do this. And the style with vertical dots is pre-defined in Berlin theme...

Thank you so much...

Hi,

you could use the compress option for the Berlin theme:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme[compress]{Berlin}

\begin{document}

\section{Sec. One}
\subsection{Subsec One One}

\begin{frame}
  Just a test frame.
\end{frame}

\subsection{Subsec One Two}

\begin{frame}
  Another test frame.
\end{frame}

\end{document}

Thank you so much, it works properly!!! I have one more question (I hope not to bother you so much...) How can I erase the bright blue bar in the headline? I just want the section bar.

I know I have to use the beamercolorbox, but I don't know how... I'm just a beginner...

Thank you very much

Do not worry. However, you can do some reading on your own. Here's the link to the beamer user guide.

And here's a possible solution to your problem (notice that I didn't used the Berlin theme, but rather I imitate it):

Code: Select all

\documentclass[compress]{beamer}
\mode<presentation>

\useoutertheme[footline=authorinstitutetitle,subsection=false]{miniframes}
\usecolortheme{whale}
\usecolortheme{orchid}
\useinnertheme{rectangles}

\setbeamerfont{block title}{size={}}

\begin{document}

\section{Sec. One}
\subsection{Subsec One One}

\begin{frame}
  Just a test frame.
\end{frame}

\subsection{Subsec One Two}

\begin{frame}
  Another test frame.
\end{frame}

\subsection{Subsec One Two}

\begin{frame}
  Another test frame.
\end{frame}

\end{document}

Hi,

using the Berlin theme directly this setting of an internal macro would work in the preamble:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\beamer@theme@subsectionfalse
\makeatother

All works properly! Thanks...

But... Where did you learn all these commands??? You're a genius!!!

By reading a lot, beside documentation also source codes of classes and packages, it comes over the time, also through supporting users. There's no need to keep everything perfectly in mind because you always can look into docs and sources.
